Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Qiao Yutong Gets Angry
"Hmph, thereâs no room for your excuses, everyone to the station now!" Qiao Yutong glared.
Miao Xuanxuan glared back and said, "Fine, letâs go. We have reason on our side. We havenât broken any laws. What have we got to be afraid of?"
Song Xiaodong and the others were escorted into a van, with Li Gang and Wang Xiaoqiang sitting together, while Miao Xuanxuan sat with Song Xiaodong.
Miao Xuanxuan pulled out her phone and said, "Donât worry, I saw everything that happened. Weâre definitely in the right. Iâm calling my dad now to have him send a lawyer over."
Li Gang, curious, asked, "Your family is that powerful, huh? You have a lawyer?"
"One from my dadâs company," Miao Xuanxuan replied casually, and then the call connected.
"Dad, Iâve gotten into a bit of trouble, can you send the companyâs lawyer over?"
Miao Qingling was in his office when he received Miao Xuanxuanâs call. His eyebrows furrowed instantly. "What happened?"
"A bunch of thugs were bothering me and a few friends, and we ended up injuring all of them, quite seriously."
"Are you hurt?" Miao Qingling immediately asked with a stern face.
"Iâm fine, nothing happened to me. But if you donât send a lawyer, the police will give us trouble and lock us up."
"Okay, no worries, Iâll bring a lawyer over right now."
After hanging up, Miao Xuanxuan grinned smugly. "The old man might be strict with me normally, but when I get into trouble, he still stands up for me."
Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "This has nothing to do with you. Why did you get involved?"
Miao Xuanxuan replied with a smile, "How can it not involve me? If it wasnât for my call to the police, you guys could have just walked away after dealing with those people. Now, because of the trouble I caused, itâs only right that I help you solve it."
At this moment, Li Gang leaned over and said, "Gangzi, you havenât introduced us yet. Whoâs this beauty?"
Song Xiaodong looked at Miao Xuanxuan and said, "This is my friend Miao Xuanxuan. These are my other good buddies, Li Gang, Wang Xiaoqiang."
"Nice to meet you, sister-in-law!" Li Gang immediately greeted her with a big grin.
Miao Xuanxuan immediately glared, and Song Xiaodong also looked exasperated.
Wang Xiaoqiang mumbled, "How did she become the sister-in-law already?"
Li Gang chuckled and explained, "When we came in, the sister-in-law herself said she was Dongziâs girlfriend."
"Oh, hi, sister-in-law," Wang Xiaoqiang hastily greeted her as well, trying to be ingratiating, but the smile stretched his facial wounds, eliciting a low groan.
Although they hadnât known her long, they could tell that Miao Xuanxuan was the type to value loyalty, and their fondness for her grew significantly.
Song Xiaodong rolled his eyes and said, "Donât listen to her nonsense. I was just pretending to be her boyfriend for a day."
Miao Xuanxuan was actually about to explain, but hearing Song Xiaodongâs denial, she got annoyed. "Hey, even if itâs just pretend, you did that kind of stuff. Are you thinking of backing out now?"
Song Xiaodongâs face darkened. "Do you actually want me to take responsibility?"
Miao Xuanxuan lifted her chin defiantly. "Who knows? Maybe I will make you take responsibility."
Song Xiaodong was caught between laughter and tears as he shot Miao Xuanxuan a look. "Fine then, having a beautiful and wealthy girlfriend like you wouldnât be so bad. I wouldnât have to work a day in my life."
Li Gang and Wang Xiaoqiang listened with their eyes shining, and Li Gang said, "Sister-in-law, is your family very rich? How much money do you have?"
Miao Xuanxuan turned her head, blinked her eyes, and replied, "Probably a few billion, I guess. I donât care about this stuff and Iâm not clear on the details."
"Damn!" Both Li Gang and Wang Xiaoqiang burst out with expletives.
Li Gang even grabbed Song Xiaodongâs shoulders and said, "Dongzi, when you make it big, you must not forget your brothers. Just let me make a million or two a year, then I can find a pretty girl to marry."
Song Xiaodong said irritably, "Do you really think Iâd forget you guys if I had any benefits coming my way?"
At that moment, Qiao Yutong also got into the car, her expression somewhat strange. Song Xiaodong and the others stopped their idle talk and all turned their attention to Qiao Yutong.
Qiao Yutong didnât say anything, and then the police car started moving. Shortly after, they arrived at the Criminal Police Team. Since a gun had been fired, this was a major case, so the Criminal Police Team werenât just cooperatingâthey were in charge.
Song Xiaodong was first taken to an interrogation room, with Qiao Yutong and Old Sun, from that day, following.
Qiao Yutong stared at Song Xiaodong and said, "Speak. I donât think we need to go over the policy details with you."
Song Xiaodong met Qiao Yutongâs gaze and said, "Could you not jump to conclusions and label me as some kind of criminal right away, please?"
Qiao Yutong slammed the table and said, "You still want to argue your way out of this? If you donât start confessing, Iâm going to get tough with you."
"Fine, be tough with me then," Song Xiaodong grinned and said, "Go ahead and torture me. I believe youâll also be very eager to face my lawyers when they arrive shortly."
"You..." Qiao Yutongâs mouth twitched with anger, and she exclaimed, "Are you threatening me?"
Song Xiaodong gave Qiao Yutong a look and said, "Werenât you the one who threatened me first?"
Qiao Yutong snorted, sat down, and said, "Then tell me what happened."
Song Xiaodong didnât oppose Qiao Yutong this time and recounted the event. He didnât want to stay here any longer than necessary. If his sister found out about this, she would definitely be worried.
After Song Xiaodong finished, Qiao Yutong said in disbelief, "Just the two of you took down all those people? Do you think youâre Superman? You think Iâm going to believe that?"
Song Xiaodong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Thereâs nothing I can do if you donât believe it."
"Nonsense. That night, when you and I fought, you were only about the same level as me. If I couldnât do it, how could you?"
"You werenât my enemy, so why would I go hard on you? They were after my life and my friendâs life, so of course, I had to be more ruthless. Comrade police officer, I do understand the lawâthis was completely self-defense. Moreover, they had weapons. Even if I had killed them, it wouldnât be considered excessive defense. Canât we speak in a different tone, please?"
"So what youâre saying is... that night, you were holding back?" Qiao Yutong suddenly slammed the table, glaring ferociously at Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong suddenly felt uneasy, touched his nose, and chuckled, "Seems like it, yeah?"
"What do you mean âseems like itâ? Is it yes or no?" Qiao Yutong walked around the table, rushed to Song Xiaodongâs face, and grabbed his collar.
"Hehe... yes!" Song Xiaodong chuckled and stretched his mouth into a grin.
"You bastard, you goddamn hooligan. You could have beaten me but you fought with me for ages. You were clearly taking advantage of me, and you even tricked me into grabbing your... Iâll kill you!"
Qiao Yutongâs face turned livid with rage, her eyes bulging with an almost cannibalistic glare.
Old Sun, the policeman, was all excitement, thinking that there was so much to unpack here.
